Held at the Roxburgh sports ground, the 69th annual show was a very successful day, with all entries up, president Judith Speden said.
"Equestrian entries are up.
We've introduced sheep classes again this year and those entries are good. The home industries entries are great and that's all good to see."
Special attention was given each year to providing lots of free entertainment for children at the show and that was made possible through the generous donation of "gift lambs", she said. The proceeds from those were used to fund the children's entertainment.
Miss Speden believed the number attending the show had increased from the previous year. The weather remained fine for the morning and early afternoon but steady rain from about 2.30pm did not seem to affect crowd numbers, she said.
The equestrian high jump, held for the first time, proved popular. The height of the jump was raised until a winner was found. Donna Smith, of Dipton, won the competition on Tower, who cleared 1.55m.
The agrisports team event, run by the Teviot Valley Young Farmers, was another crowd-pleaser, and was widened this year to include a section for children's teams.
Rock-climbing also proved a hit. Members of the Central Rock Climbers, which was formed in Alexandra about 18 months ago, used a large rocky outcrop in the grounds to give climbing and abseiling lessons.
Club spokesman Ian Knights said there was a steady stream of young people all day keen to try the sport.
